glow.

15 May

You, like the fuzzy fur on my feet–always inviting.

Sincerely snug.

A city of shivering strangers stare, somewhere you radiate.

Toes wiggle, cheeks flushed,

I will never share our voltaic secret.

 

Plugged-in, electric blanket warm–

–we will always be this way, even when the world says, “Be cold.”

    Really enjoyed reading this.

    By the way, I meant to thank you for including my blog in your blogroll. I just recently noticed (am always late to the game..), and any time I can be included in a list containing the words “SnarkySnatch” is a real treat. Thank you!

    No need for electric blankets here in Florida, but your poem brought back memories of Ohio…cold, cold memories of Ohio. Brrr.

    I love the title, as well as this line. “I will never share our voltaic secret.”
